| The show opened the Sunday
|
| He closed it on Monday
|
| And Broadway sang no lullaby
|
| How sick the fool is
|
| The neon moon is
|
| Big city babies don’t cry
|
| When your fate gave the part out
|
| You sure played your heart out
|
| The curtain came down with a sigh
|
| The swell of wind
|
| No time for pity
|
| Big city babies don’t cry
|
| My fair lady
|
| Where will you go?
|
| Somewhere, waiting
|
| Another show
|
| I guess a rehearsal
|
| Is still in reversal
|
| And somewhere I lay, we can cry
|
| But in Manhattan
|
| Tears stain your satin
|
| Excuse me, there’s something in my eye
|
| Big city babies don’t cry
|
| (No, no baby, no don’t you cry)
|
| Don’t cry (no, no baby, no don’t you cry)
|
| Baby don’t cry (no, no baby, no don’t you cry)
|
| Don’t cry (no, no baby, no don’t you cry)
|
| Don’t cry (no, no baby, no don’t you cry) |
